I had a stubborn one recently. After trying all sorts of prying etc. I tried some gentle warming with a heat gun. I shielded the front panel with tin foil and scrap metal, to not damage the finish. Once the knob got quite hot, it popped right off. Someone had glued it with what looked like carpenters glue. This process did not damage to the Bakelite knob.
